the messiah

i just spent like three hours at the national cathedral seeing messiah. had to go through the entire thing, this way i'll never have to see it again. it's like the nutcracker. once you've seen it, you never have to see it again in your life time. the national cathedral is so amazing. president wilson's tomb is just right there for you to touch and see too. i would have loved to take a tour of the place but it's too far from where i live to want to come back. and i got crappy, crappy seats. i think i was something like in the second to last row in the sixth largest cathedral in the world. not complaining much since it was free. oh wait, it was $25 for my crappy ticket. messiah itself was okay. it's just a million little sections of chorus that all sound the same though. would probably rather see just a full orchestral /instrumental piece. as you can see, my brain is lacking when it comes to music terminology. i know there are names for these, i just don't know what.

snow. finally. a few potential inches of snow and the town thinks it's armageddon. we got to leave early when it started, which was incredible. i'm working on beating halo on the heroic level, but it's so freaking difficult. can't imagine trying it on legendary. and i haven't even gotten to the flood yet. anyways, taking this friday and monday off for some good time virginia snowboarding. thrilled actually.

i've realized that of all the republican senators, i landed the best office to work in. of all the offices within bennett's, 429 is by far the best. and i'm not just saying that either. i know the other interns had really good experiences as well, but i think the experience i've had with my people easily tops theirs. my room-roommates were kind of lame and my apartment could have been better. but overall, i'm pretty glad i did all of this.
